Who Is Jesus? (Gospel of Matthew)
He slipped quietly out of heaven and lived a normal life in a very normal place. But when He was about 30 years old, He showed that He was anything but normal. Ever since, people have been talking about Him all over the world. Matthew wrote his gospel to answer the questions people were asking in the first century: Who was Jesus? What did He teach? What did He do? The answers reveal a King who is so significant that all history revolves around Him. Click here for an outline of this message.
God Has Spoken! (New Testament Overview)
From beginning (Genesis 1:3: “Then God said…”) to end (Revelation 22:20: Jesus “testifies…I am coming quickly!”), the confident claim of the Bible is this: God has spoken! How has He spoken? What has He said? How should we respond? Click here for an outline of these message.
Great Reward—Practical Benefits from the Old Testament
We've spent more than 40 weeks exploring the Old Testament together and now it's time for us to explore the New Testament. But before we do, let's take one last look at the Old Testament together—to remind ourselves of how important it is for us to know and love the Old Testament.
Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi—Behold Your King!
The temple lay in ruins. Of course, people can worship God anywhere with or without a temple, but at that time in history, the temple was the symbol of God's connection with His people. Did a destroyed temple mean a destroyed relationship? No! God told the people to rebuild! Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi—the last three prophets of the Old Testament (the post-exilic prophets)—filled the ears and hearts of the people with God's promises to fill the temple with His glory once again! He also promised that their King would come to them "humble and riding on a donkey"!
Zephaniah, Habakkuk and Joel—Day of the Lord
Think about all the religious noise out there: chanting and praying to dead ancestors or dead "saints". Singing to lifeless idols or created beings. Beating drums in ancient, pagan rituals. Even the screaming at concerts can often be classified as worship—worship of men and women who mezmorize fans with their musical abilities and become the center of the universe for multitudes of people. Cable and satellite television, radio airwaves and internet streaming fill the ears of billions of people with ideas and teachings which question, contradict and even mock the ideas and teachings of the true God of the universe. But, there's nothing new under the sun. Satellite television and internet streaming may be new, but religious noise has always been with us. The prophet Zephaniah—600 years before Christ—commanded the idolaters of his day, "Be silent before the Lord God!" In this message from the series His Story—From Genesis to Revelation, we find that the three 7th Century B.C. prophets, Zephaniah, Habakkuk and Joel provide us with timeless principles and challenges that are relevant to every people, of every religion, in every culture, of every age.
Jonah, Nahum and Obadiah—Salvation is From the Lord (Part 2)
In the Old Testament era, God focused the majority of His attention and revelation on one nation: Israel. But was He unconcerned with the other nations? Did He ever send His prophets to other nations? Did He care what other nations were doing? The neglected Old Testament books of Jonah, Nahum and Obadiah give us the clear and relevant answers to these questions as Pastor LePage continues the series His Story—From Genesis to Revelation. (Part 2)
Jonah, Nahum and Obadiah—Salvation is from the Lord (Part 1)
In the Old Testament era, God focused the majority of His attention and revelation on one nation: Israel. But was He unconcerned with the other nations? Did He ever send His prophets to other nations? Did He care what other nations were doing? The neglected Old Testament books of Jonah, Nahum and Obadiah give us the clear and relevant answers to these questions as Pastor LePage continues the series His Story—From Genesis to Revelation.
Hosea, Amos and Micah—As The Lord Loves
It was the best of times. The crops were growing and the kingdom was expanding! Was this a sign of God's blessing? What did the prophets of the time—Isaiah, Hosea, Amos and Micah—have to say about it? In this message—part of Pastor LePage's on-going series, His Story: From Genesis to Revelation—we'll look at the "cluster" of prophets God sent to His people in the 8th Century BC and the amazing news they had for Israel. The principles found in these neglected books make them relevant for every generation.
Lamentations—Great Is Your Faithfulness
Imagine a funeral for an entire city. That's pretty close to what is described in the book of Lamentations—the next stop in Pastor LePage's overview of each book of the Bible called His Story—from Genesis to Revelation. This funeral is not only one of the most significant historical events in the entire Old Testament era, but it is also one of the most instructive. It's not a cheerful, light-hearted message, but potentially life-changing.
